Airtel one of the most preferred ISP in India has resorted to capping the data limits of unlimited plans. And they are citing it as Airtel Fair Usage policy. Similar schemes were made famous by Comcast in the US, which had raised much hue and cry and ultimately lead to broadband metering system in the continent. An oddity of the policy is that subscribers weren't informed about it and was first noticed by some sharp eyed users who noticed the speeds being reduced to exact half of what they had experienced the previous day. The following limits have been in place from Feb 7th :
128 kbps = 10 GB download limit per month
256 kbps = 15 GB download limit per month
384 kbps = 20 GB download limit per month
512 kbps = 25 GB download limit per month
1 Mbps = 150 GB download limit per month
